II. Read the following text and answer the question given below.

6. The early men did not have any rich or poor among them. Their shared living is the

cause for this. Comment.

Shared Living The early people lived in small groups and led a nomadic life. It appears that

women and men both participated in hunting and food gathering. Women and children

were more active in food gathering and hunting of small animals.

Hunting large animals may have taken many days of tracking to distant places-

This was probably done mostly by men.

Hunter gatherers shared the food they collect with all the members of the group.

There wasn’t much scope for storage of food as it consisted mainly of perishable things

like meat, fish, fruits, leaves, tubers and small quantities of wild grains. Grains and

pulses which we eat today do not perish so quickly. We also have jars and tins to store

them for months. But, the earliest people did not possess such heavy things as they had to

constantly move.

Since they shared all the food and had free access to the resources of the forests,

hunter – gatherers did not have any rich or poor among them. They were all equal and

treated each other equally. They also took all important decisions by discussing together.

6. ‘The working conditions in factories should be improved’ – comment.

Major changes swept industries with the coming of machines. Machines

could be worked by even unskilled persons. Thus skilled artisans were no longer

required. In their place a large number of women and children were employed and

made to work for meager wages.

Machines cost a lot of money and ordinary artisans could not afford them.

Only wealthy merchants could setup mechonised factories. This is what the workers

had to say about their plight.

“Everyday we come for work at 6 A.M. and worked till 8.30 P.M. There is

lunch break of only an hour. By the end of the day, we are so tired. Then the factory

owner uses whips to goad us to keep working.

These days new machines are being introduced constantly. Every time a new

machine is introduced, many of us are thrown into the streets.”

II Read the following passage and answer the question given below.

6. ‘Secularism is a way of life ‘– comment.

India is the birth – place of different religions. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and

Sikhism have their origin in India. Hindus are in majority in this country. People following

the rest of the religions are less than 20% of the total population. Religion plays an

important role in our social life by moulding the life style of the people.

In a multi-religious country like India, People have got opportunities to follow and

propagate any religion they prefer. The Indian constitution has laid down clearly that the

country should adopt secularism. Religion is a need which pertains to individual’s

behavior. It depends upon one’s belief and faith. But secularism is one compulsory

component in the life style of a multi religious society. “Secular” means a thought that does

not have any religious concern. ‘Secularism’ is a philosophy without such concern. A

secular state does not interfere with the religious affairs of its people. However, it is neither

anti-religious, no irreligious, but it is neutral in all religious matters of the people. We have

a secular state.

Theists (people who have faith in religion and God) generally believe that religious

life helps one love not only one’s fellow human beings, but also the other living beings.

Dealing with the fellow beings with love and respect is preached in all the religions, in one

way or the other.
